That basically defeats any advantage of a subscription. You might as well just have a bookmark calendar event that leads to the one-click purchase.
- Reason077 2y agoThere are several other advantages with subscribe & save: 1. You get a 15% discount. 2. Everything arrives in one shipment, with multiple items in the same box, saving on packaging. 3. It saves time to have the products you use regularly pre-loaded into the Amazon order (I can't think of an alternative way to do a "one click purchase" of multiple items, and its easier to remove items from a pre-filled order than to have to search for them and add them). 4. As mentioned elsewhere, Amazon seems to try to make sure there is stock available for subscribe & save customers, reserving stock even if it's showing as sold out on the product page.

Imagine if you walked into the supermarket and someone offered you a basket of things you'd told them you often like to buy. Maybe you don't want them today, there could be all manner of reasons, but you might, it's still helpful.
